Economic disadvantage refers to a situation where individuals or groups lack the financial resources necessary to meet basic needs, such as food, shelter, and healthcare. This condition often results from factors like low income, unemployment, or limited access to education and job opportunities. People facing economic disadvantage may struggle to improve their living conditions and achieve financial stability. This disadvantage can lead to a cycle of poverty, where limited resources hinder access to quality education and employment, perpetuating the struggle for better living conditions. Communities affected by economic disadvantage often experience higher rates of crime, poor health, and social instability, making it challenging to break free from these constraints.
